  • Giving up (Dantrell Pearson)

    February 11, 2019
    I’ve been as patient as possible. I was told that I was approved on several occasions. The day of my lease signing (02/11/2019), I was told I haven’t been approved yet. It’s very displeasing and misleading to go through this knowing you’ve worked so hard for this. I wouldn’t recommend this process for no one.
